These cookies are wonderfully easy to make cookies. Ice Box cookies are perfect for when you want to bake cookies in a hurry, this dough needs to be chilled before using. This recipe came from my former husband’s Grandmother, and we ate lots of these cookies over the years.

Something isn’t quite right with the recipe, what is the bean and how do you get the pinwheels. Are they different flavors. Help please
